Overview
- The EFL board ratified an independent commission’s recommendation, applying the deduction to the Championship table with immediate effect.
- The commission ruled Leicester exceeded the P&S threshold by £20.8m over the 2022–2024 assessment period and breached rules by failing to submit annual accounts on time, rejecting claims of exceptional cooperation.
- Jurisdiction shifted to the Premier League after Leicester’s 2024 promotion, an arbitration panel upheld that shift in March 2025, and a week-long hearing took place in November 2025.
- Leicester sit 20th, only above the relegation zone on goal difference, with 16 matches remaining and club legend Andy King serving as interim manager.
- Club statements say options are being reviewed, and reporting indicates the Premier League initially pushed for a heavier points sanction before the six-point outcome.
